Our team is super excited to be spending three weeks in Dry Tortugas National Park partnering with the University of Miami's Shark Research and Conservation Program on their Summer Research Expeditions! UMSRC team members and a group of amazing students are living and working aboard the RV Garvin right now studying the ecology and ecosystem effects of the ocean's top predators in this remote national park. We are at the halfway mark now and the teams have collected data on more than 40 sharks of 9 different species! Here the team works up a tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) before releasing it in excellent condition!
